[RFC v3 2/5] cleanup: Fix discarded const warning when defining guard
From: Vinicius Costa Gomes
Date: Fri Feb 16 2024 - 00:17:42 EST
When defining guards for const types the void* return implicitly
discards the const modifier. Be explicit about it.
Compiler warning (gcc 13.2.1):
/include/linux/cleanup.h:154:18: warning: return discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
154 | { return *_T; }
| ^~~
/include/linux/cred.h:193:1: note: in expansion of macro ‘DEFINE_GUARD’
193 | DEFINE_GUARD(cred, const struct cred *, _T = override_creds_light(_T),
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~
